    Abstract : Today’s transportation highly depends on hydrocarbon fuels, and reducing the weight could help a lot in reducing the air pollutants and carbon footprints in the environment to comply with the strict regulations set by reputable standard organizations in the world. Utilizing lightweight materials in automobile parts is one of the key factors to succeed in meeting the goals defined in the standards. READ MORE

  3. 7. Influence of matrix and alloying on the high cycle fatigue properties of compacted graphite iron for cylinder heads

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Erik From; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Continued improvements in combustion processes, introduction of biofuels, decreasing fuel consumption and increasing specific power will inevitably lead to an increase of the combustion pressure, which can be accompanied with a temperature increase. This will increase the loading on many components and drives the development of materials more resistant to the harsh conditions close to the engine. READ MORE

  4. 8. Relation Between the Material in Press Hardening Dies and Fully Martensitic Transformation : Sheet properties of thick 3D-sheets in small series production

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Jesper Christensson; [2020]
    Keywords : hot stamping; press hardening; material properties;

    Abstract : This report evaluates the influence of the die material on the cooling rate and martensitic transformation of press hardened sheets. The goal was to increase the thicknesses of sheets that can form fully martensitic microstructure when press hardened. READ MORE

  5. 9. Influence of nitrocarburization on the thermomechanical fatigue properties of ductile iron for exhaust components : Analysis and comparisons of TMF-properties

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Karl Larsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Thermo-mechanical fatigue; low cycle fatigue; thermal strain; ductile cast iron; nitrocarburizing;

    Abstract : New stricter environmental legislation requires lower emissions and fuel consumption of automotive engines. Therefore the fuel efficiency must be increased but this leads to higher loads in the engine. As for the exhaust system it is affected by higher thermomechanical loads. READ MORE

  6. 10. High temperature corrosion in exhaust application for heavy-duty trucks

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Alice Moya; [2019]
    Keywords : high temperature corrosion; austenitic steel; cast iron; cast steel; oxidation; exhaust gas; engine; heavy-duty trucks;

    Abstract : Increasing awareness of environmental protection has made both governments and the industry aim for lowering carbon dioxide emissions. For the transport industry this means increasing engine efficiency, replacing fossil fuels with bio-based fuels or full electrification. READ MORE
